One of those peculiar cases that sometimes happen, took place at the town court in Ansonia recently. Mi chael Collins entered complaint g. gainst his son Thomas, for assault upon his brother James, and also breaking windows in his fathers house. He plead guilty and was fined $7 and costs, amounting to $15.90. Thomas had no money with which to pay. Rather than see his son go to jail, the father paid his fine and costs, being by the opera tion so many dollars poorer than he would have been if he had not appealed to the law. The boy went unpunish- ed.- Winsted Press

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The senate received Q communication from Governor Lounsbury nominating Sydney B. Beardsley of Bridgeport to be judge of supreme court of errors to succeed Judge Miles T. Granger whose resignation takes effect March 1887. Under suspension of the rules 1t was transmitted at once to the house where the vote stood 15S yeas to A nays; he was therefore elected for a term of eight years. The honor was declined by Judge Sanford of New Haven who by seniority would be entitled to the pro- motion. Judge Beardsley is considered one of the ablest judges in the state, and has been judge of the superior court since 1874. A communication was pre- sented by executive Secretary Mclean from the Governor nominating Angus tus Fl. Tenn of Winsted for judge of superior court to succeed Judge Boards ley. It was referred to the judiciary committee. Ex-congressman Kellogg of Waterbury spoke very enthusiastical- ly in regard to the excellent qualifica- tions of Colonel Fenn for the judgeship. Colonel Fenn was student in the law office of General Kellogg after the for mer's return from the war;
 Favorable report was rendered by the committee on bill punish1ng false regis tration of cattle; and it passed.
 The committee reported unfayorably on bill requiring town meetings to be called on petition of twenty voters, also on bill requesting congress to provide general marriage law.
 The query was, why this delay, why has SO little business of the house been accomplished, why does the work pro gress so slowly? The question was set tied by committee denominated a ''hustling" committee, Messrs Hurd of Bristol and Hyde of Hartford acting in that capacity, who after investigation reported that the chairmen of the vari- ous committees were at fault in not bringing forward the business prompt ly. The journal of the house for Febru- ary 16th 1886 chronicles the fact that a similar grumbling took place on that date.
 The committee rendered favorable re- port on resolution providing for case for the original marble slab over the grave of General Putnam, also on reso- lution providing for the printing of the laws in the German language.
 Extensive resolutions were offered by Mir. Higgins of Greenwich urging the necessity and importance of national system of protection by laws relating to the tariff. The resolutions were referred to the committee on federal relations.
 The sum of S25 was appropriated fo1 portrait of Speaker Hoyt to be placed in the speakers room at the capitol.
 The legislature of 1875 will hold their annual reunion to-day Wednesday, al the capitol.
 The hearing for the Litchfeld county court house matter has b, en assigned for the 9th and 10th of March, before the committee on new counties and county seats.
